Sharing content and @mentions
The + button in a chat is a share menu, not just a photo picker. Send your own posts, info cards, saved bookmarks, and more — and use @ to drop a card that links straight to a profile, post, event, or job.
A chat lets you send more than text. The + button opens a share menu, and typing @ drops a card into your message that links to something specific.
The + button
Tap + in the message bar to open the share menu. From it you can:
- Take a photo or pick one from your gallery.
- Share your own content — your posts and (for practitioners and studios) your info cards. What else you can share depends on your account type: studios can share team members, events, and job offers; tattoo artists can share a guest spot.
- Send a saved bookmark — pick from posts you've saved (all saved, or one of your folders) so you can fire off a "this one — like this" reference to a practitioner before booking. See Using bookmarks.
- Request a booking — this option appears when you're messaging a practitioner. See Booking from a conversation.
@ mentions
Typing @ does more than tag a name. Start typing @ and a name, pick the person, then choose what to link them to: their posts (anyone), their location (studios and practitioners), a studio's events or job offers, or a tattoo artist's guest spot. The choices you're offered depend on that person's account type. You can also just tap their name to tag them with no card — the tag links to their profile. Either way, the result is a tappable card or link inside your message. You can add up to five mentions in one message.
Protecting the images you send
When you attach a photo, you can cover parts of it or stamp it with your username before it sends. See Protecting the images you send.
Frequently asked questions
